LONDON (ShareCast) - Printing technologies group Domino Printing saw a 19% fall in like for like sales on a constant currency basis at the interim stage, as the economic downturn took its toll.
Helped by favourable currency movements
sales fell 1% in the six months to 30 April to £124.3m from £125.9m the year before.
Acquisitions made in the second half of 2008 boosted sales by 3%, while favourable exchange rate movements lifted revenue by 15%.
Bio-degradable implants developer Inion said today is its last day listed on the stock market. Shares will be cancelled from the official list from tomorrow.
"2009 has been difficult for Inion given the operational progress the Company made during 2008, particularly in the US. We are pleased with the way discussions are progressing across a range of strategic options, which, if they come to fruition, will allow us to refocus on operational activities to build the business," said CEO Chris Lee.
